Write data in file using "fopen( )" in C51 - µVision2

Hello everybody giving a helping hand,

got me some trouble here. I was making a program that reads out the duty cycle of an ADXL202 sensor. Everything works, except the part were i want to print my data in a file using this :

 FILE *stream, *fopen();

                 if ( (stream = fopen(...)) != NULL)
                                 fscanf(stream,''%s'', string);

Ok this is were my problems start. The compiler gives me the error that he doesn't know this type FILE ore the function fopen (). This seems to be logical to me since i looked in my stdio.h header and found nothing really according to that declaration.
Is there a posibility that this is stored in another source file or does not exist???
Or .... how do i get my data's in a *.txt file ???

Thanks for the help i'm about to receive :))

P.S: Im using a 80C535 µC, sorry for not mantuening

  • I don't think the OP has a problem with running the HyperTerminal to capture the data. The main problem seems to be having the data getting stuck in a file and then needing a lot of manual - and repeated - work to get it further.

    I was thinking that it might be possible to run a capture in Hyperterminal (or just piping the data from the com port to a file) and then have Excel do a new read of the ODBC source whenever the user wants to see a current graph.

    HyperTerminal can only capture to a file, not enter the data directly into a spreadsheet. What I am adding to the list of his options are different terminal programs (e.g., Procomm) that have DDE or OLE facilities to enter data directly into spreadsheet cells as the data arrives without manual intervention or extra manual steps.
